Separation of gluco- and galactocerebrosides by means of borate thin-layer chromatography. 1966

E L Kean

Gluco- and galactocerebrosides can be separated by thin-layer chromatography on Silica Gel G prepared with sodium borate solution instead of water. The most successful developing system was chloroform-methanol-water-15 M NH(4)OH 280:70:6:1.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D001881	Borates	Inorganic or organic salts and esters of boric acid.	Borate
D002554	Cerebrosides	Neutral glycosphingolipids that contain a monosaccharide, normally glucose or galactose, in 1-ortho-beta-glycosidic linkage with the primary alcohol of an N-acyl sphingoid (ceramide). In plants the monosaccharide is normally glucose and the sphingoid usually phytosphingosine. In animals, the monosaccharide is usually galactose, though this may vary with the tissue and the sphingoid is usually sphingosine or dihydrosphingosine.

D002855	Chromatography, Thin Layer	Chromatography on thin layers of adsorbents rather than in columns. The adsorbent can be alumina, silica gel, silicates, charcoals, or cellulose.
